Yep, that one escaped me. Too involved in hidding Easter Eggs yesterday. I'll find the forgotten ones in a few days. Pee Uuuuuuu!!! But actually I thought the name was Bubollic, like the plague??????

It's kind of sad. My grand kids have gotten too old to look for eggs. I always enjoyed that hiding of eggs. The only eggs they want now are the Cadbury eggs.

The plague is not Bubollic. It's Bubonic. I actually had a shot for Bubonic Plague once when the Air Force wanted to send me to Vietnam, but then changed their mind and didn't. It was the only shot that I ever took that made me a little sick with chills and fever.

I am going to credit Joly with a payout of $68.85. This is according to his guesstimate. I cannot figure out how many winning tickets are in 198
separate tickets. It is beyond my field of expertise and while I can find many wagering calculators I can't find any that break down winning combinations. Anyone who can help it is more than welcome.

No one should object since I still ended up with a losing bet. It is fortunate that if we were to play such a bet at the track, the tote machine would do the calcs for us. If we played online the betting site would do the same. The only message is that if you play a Keeneland pick 5 at your local OTB, don't be too quick to throw your ticket away - it might have a conso payoff.

BTW I rechecked the #'s on my trusty Curta and agree with the $68.85 number. There was only 1 conso in the $27 backup ticket, but enbedded in the 144 separate wagers of the $72 ticket [one of which had all 5 winners] were 10 different wagers that had 4 out of 5 correct. It is axiomatic that if you make multiple selections on a pick 5 or 6 ticket there will invariably be a number of tickets that have 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 6 as the case may be.

Sorry to have put you through this RQ.
